D. dropping
互联网媒体公司雅虎正转到自己的网页搜索技术上，并终止使用其竞争对手Google的技术。
参见"drop"及物动词的用法:"丢弃,中断"

选D

没有语法问题，只是要理解全句的意思（非全直译）：
雅虎公司开始转用自己的搜索技术而减少利用其对手google的技术了。

其实雅虎是最早使用搜索引擎的，但随着google的强大，他们也利用google的搜索引擎进行搜索。至于为什么又改回去了，我就不清楚了。

但这个句子只有dropping 能符合意思，因为前面对应的有switching to，表示转向，这里的to 是介词。既然是转向自己的搜索技术(it's own search technology)，那就是减少了使用google的技术了。

给你一篇这方面的报道

Internet media company Yahoo Inc. on Wednesday said it was switching to its own Web search technology and dropping its use of competitor Google Inc.

The widely anticipated announcement marks the unwinding of a long-term relationship between Yahoo, operator of the world's most-visited Internet properties, and Google, the No. 1 Web search provider.

The friendly partnership evolved into an intense rivalry as Google's popularity soared and Web-search advertising revenues, which had been shared between the two companies, boomed.

Google is expected to go public later this year. Company representatives did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Yahoo recently has made major investments in the sector with acquisitions of search provider Inktomi and Overture Services, a key Web-search advertising company.

Its conversion project began late Tuesday night with the U.S. Yahoo site and will continue over the next several weeks as the San Jose, California-based company moves its international properties to its own search product.

Upon completion of the transition, Yahoo will power nearly half of all Web search queries in the United States through its own sites and those of partners like Microsoft Corp.'s MSN Internet service, Jeff Weiner, senior vice president of Yahoo search and marketplace, said.

Yahoo's global reach, combined with its technology, position Yahoo to "change the game in search," Weiner said.

For its part, Microsoft is also throwing its vast resources behind a project to build search technology of its own.

Yahoo first signalled its intent to challenge Google last year when it bought Inktomi, a company which enjoyed an early technology lead but fell on hard times after the dotcom bust. It had already indicated that it planned to replace Google as the search service used by visitors to the Yahoo portal sometime early this year.

The race to catch Google comes as the internet upstart continues to strengthen its grip on internet searching. Last December, half of all people in the US who used a search engine visited Google at learst once, according to Nielsen/NetRatings, a research firm. By contrast, 29 per cent visited Yahoo during the month, while 30 per cent went to Microsoft's MSN service and 15 per cent visited AOL.

Google's dominance is even greater than these numbers suggest. Its search engine carried out all the searches on AOL and, until now, Yahoo. Searches on MSN, meanwhile, are powered by Yahoo's search engine, though that realationship is also expected to end once Microsoft perfects its own technology.

In future, the company plans to use personal information about its users to customise the results of searches to make them more relevant, said Mr Weiner. This personalisation will take advantage of data supplied by the more than 100m people registered to use Yahoo's various information services. Mr Weiner added that Yahoo would also build in safeguards to protect personal information about its users.

In an effort to compete with Google's engineering prowess, Yahoo has built its own engineering research group built around Inktomi and two other search engines it acquired, Alta Vista and search. Unlike Google, though, its results still rely to some extent on human intervention, using the team of editors that created the first internet directory on which Yahoo's original business was built.
